1/35 GERMAN SELF-PROPELLED HOWITZER WESPE "ITALIAN FRONT"

    Length: 143
    mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

    Last Ditch Defense

    Developed during WWII, the Wespe was based upon the Pz.Kpfw.II chassis
    and employed the lFH18 10.5cm howitzer, which could propel 14kg rounds
    over distances of up to 10.6km. Some 676 Wespes were manufactured
    between February 1943 and July 1944, and they saw extensive use in both
    infantry support and anti-tank roles, from the Eastern Front across to
    Normandy and Italy in the West. In January 1944, Allied forces attempted
    to decisively swing the balance in Italy with landings at Anzio; Wespe
    self-propelled howitzers were an integral part of the 26th Panzer and
    29th Panzer Grenadier Divisions as the Germans responded.
